A Taste of Home with Tim & Sue Read

We're inviting you to a special cooking event series featuring MasterChef NZ winner Tim Read and Sue Read, former owner of Wellington's much-loved SHINE Café.

Together, Tim and Sue combine world-class culinary expertise with a warm, down-to-earth love of home cooking. They'll share delicious recipes, practical tips, and the stories behind the food that brings people together.

Depending on the village you visit, you'll enjoy either a classic cooking demonstration featuring fresh, flavourful everyday meals or a special air fryer cooking session, packed with simple, tasty recipes designed to make home cooking easier than ever.

Whether you're looking for cooking inspiration or curious about retirement living, this special event offers the perfect opportunity to experience village life firsthand.
